Leaf

Video: Leaf in Baby Sign Language

Signing: The leaf sign looks a lot like a leaf hanging from a branch, waving in a gentle breeze. Your weak hand acts like the branch. You point the index finger on your weak hand and make your other fingers into a fist.

Your strong hand is the leaf. Make an open hand, with palm down. Then place the base of your palm onto the index finger of your weak hand. Move your strong hand up and down a little to complete the sign.

Usage: As you take a walk around the garden or the park, let your baby bury herself in the fallen leaves. As you both pick up and take a closer look at each leaf, make the sign.
